so busy…so thank you all
Everything is just exploding business wise! Which is so great, but dosen’t leave much time for anything else right now. Trying to remain calm and stay on top of everything (the kids, the family, the business, the house, the laundry, the school, the friends, the other jobs at the SAT place and teaching scrapbooking, and the everything else) and finding it very difficult.
As for business, thank you to everyone for their patience. I am getting backlogged so I am not able to answer emails and edit pictures as quickly as I would like, so thank you for hanging in there with me. I guess the bsquared word is spreading, and I really appreciate all of the business you are all sending my way! Really!! But you do know that this means that if you (my wonderful, faithful blog reading clients) want me to be there with camera in hand for your special event or if you have a date in mind for a shoot…BOOK AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!! I really can’t stress this enough. I don’t want all of my original clients to lose their spots. Just lookin out for ya!
I am working on editing one more Communion, then I have to edit the pictures I took of the band The Turn last night at a show (which, by the way, was ROCKIN!!). Tommorrow (well, today now I guess) I am shooting a wedding and Sunday a family shoot. For those of you who know me, you know how much I loathe being behind…but I can’t do more than I’m doing.
And since a post is pretty worthless without a picture, here is one that I just adore. To me, it just says SPRING, baby!

the dev communion & christening
Wow, talk about two birds with one stone! Two beautiful girls from this family shared their special day- one made her First communion, and one had her christening. Lots of white puffy, fluffy, pretty dresses! Such a great family (with a dad who has great taste in colleges- Go Canes!) and everyone is really as sweet as could be. Just did a few portraits to commemorate the occasion(s).

the arl communion
Saturday afternoon I was lucky to photograph the arl communion. This is a great group of people that I have gotten to work with many times already (and who have given me many new clients). The youngest boy took a fall on the way over to take the portraits and was pretty upset, so from then on he wanted NOTHING to do with me. Mom is so cool about stuff like that and realized there was nothing we could do about it. (I did offer chocolate, but it just wasn’t cutting it). So he’s not in too many of the shots.
What everyone else lacked in enthusiasm for me and my camera, mom made up for! More than enough for everyone. She loves getting her picture taken. How many people can you say that about? I guess it dosen’t hurt that she’s gorgeous and modelish-tall with matching modelish legs.
The communion recepient is as cute as ever (loved the matching Brooks Brothers tie to his daddy & his brother) and was a good sport. But, in the end, he was pretty done with me too. But I did get some great ones of him on his special day. Handsome! Album on the left. Click on any image to see it bigger.

like deju vu all over again
Spent some of my day back at the infamous "school bus place" as Timmy had his first session of PT (physical therapy) today. Sitting in the waiting room, it felt I was just there with the big boys a few weeks ago- not 4+ years ago. So odd.
According to his therapist (who is young and pretty so he’ll be digging her) he did a great job and really loved the rock wall. But let me tell you, the kid was TIRED afterwards. Between school and PT, I don’t know what’s going to happen when we add OT in two weeks. I’m not sure he’s going to get anything out of it cause he’s going to be a mess. Guess we’ll wait and see. Here’s the cutie pie himself from the other day.Dont’cha just love the "water beard"?
In other news, just finished editing the pictures I took at Grace Day School and Grace Nursery School in Massapequa and Amityville. I can’t post them here as there is the whole issue of parents signing waivers thru the school, but I can post a few without kids in them. So here are a few from there. Looks like a really nice place to go to school. And great kids too.

more sports…basketball (but only watching, not playing)
Last week the boys school had a basketball game against the Harlem Wizards. It’s a bunch of the teachers against these pro players (like the globetrotters) where the teachers get their butts kicked, but it makes for a good show and a good school fundraiser. Jack’s assistant teacher played, and Patrick’s teachers from first and second grade played, while his teacher this year was a really good cheerleader. We took Timmy along too and he had fun, although we were back and forth to the bathroom a zillion times. Even the Principal of the school played. It was a great night but the boys were pretty done in since they left school early that day to go to the Mets opening day game with John. More sports still to come…their first baseball game (that they played in) will posted later this week.
